Experience the thrills of your favorite movies in high definition with the Sony BDP-S185 Blu-ray Disc Smart Player. Simply pop in a Blu-ray or DVD and sit back to enjoy the show on your HDTV. The Blu-ray format offers some of the most stunning imagery available and can hold up to five times as much as standard DVDs, and the BDP-S185 supports all the clarity and detail these discs have to offer. This player even upscales DVDs to near-HD quality, so you might even forget which of your discs are Blu-rays.
Of course, what was Jurassic Park without the heart-thumping sound effects of the dinosaurs or the clashing of swords in Kill Bill? Every good movie needs stellar sound to make it come alive, and the BDP-S185 supports high definition audio -- so if you have a 7.1 channel A/V receiver you're in luck. It has internal decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio and High Resolution Audio, and these are found on many DVDs and Blu-ray discs. So when you connect the player to your receiver, you'll be able to enjoy realistic surround sound for your favorite movies.
If you already have a home Internet connection, you can connect the BDP-S185 to the network for even more options. It has a convenient Ethernet port that allows for a wired connection. Since many Blu-ray discs come with additional bonus content like filmmaker chats or quizzes, you'll be able to go online and access these (you'll need a USB device with at least 1 GB of memory to store the content). This disc player also supports BONUSVIEW for picture-in-picture content, so you can watch commentaries in a smaller window while your movie is playing.
But the BDP-S185 is more than just a Blu-ray player -- by streaming additional content it becomes a virtual hub for your home entertainment center. It can fill your living room with drama, romance, comedy, and much more. You can create personalized digital radio stations with Pandora, upload your own videos to YouTube or watch shared videos from other users. If you have a Netflix subscription, you're in luck -- you'll be able to peruse their database of movies and TV series and watch them instantly using your subscription-based account. The player also supports Hulu and HuluPlus, just in case these aren't enough for you.
Since this disc player features upscaling and I/P noise reduction, you can experience better image quality from Internet videos. Another cool feature is the "Socialize" function -- if while enjoying all of these streaming options you find something you want to share, no problem! You can post it to popular social media sites for everyone to see.
The BDP-S185 also has a front-panel USB port, so you can connect a USB memory device with stored photos, songs, or video files and watch them on the big screen. If you have another BRAVIA Sync-enabled device, you can even control them all with just one remote. And if you have young kids, you can set a password to restrict playback of DVDs, Blu-ray discs and Internet videos (you can even set a different level for each source). And last but not least, this disc player can save you money in the long run -- it's Energy Star compliant and takes just 10 watts of power to operate.
- Blu-ray Disc Full HD 1080p Playback
- Enjoy your collection of Blu-ray disc movies in stunning high definition resolution or upscale the quality of your DVDs to near-HD quality
- Online Connectivity via LAN
- Connect the BDP-S185 to your existing network using the LAN terminal on the player. This gives you access to streaming services and bonus content to enhance your entertainment experience
- Internet Video Streaming
- A plethora of online movies, videos, TV shows and music are right at your fingertips -- you can instantly stream content from both paid and free services like Netflix, YouTube, HuluPlus, Pandora and more
- BD Live Bonus Content
- After the player is connected to the Internet, you can download additional scenes, shorts, trailers, and join in multi-player interactive games that are linked to BD Live bonus content contained in Blu-ray discs. Simply connect a USB memory device (1 GB or larger) to the front-panel USB port and you're good to go
- I/P Noise Reduction
- Improve the picture quality of Internet entertainment and enjoy crisp, clear images on your HDTV thanks to the unit's interlaced-to-progressive noise reduction
- Dolby and DTS-HD Audio Support
- If you have a 7.1 channel A/V receiver, get ready to experience stellar sound. This disc player is able to internally decode Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD (Master Audio and High Resolution Audio) or output bitstream via HDMI. These lossless codecs reproduce high definition sound with 7.1 channels of discrete audio so you can enjoy uncompromised sound for your movies
- BONUSVIEW Picture-in-Picture
- The BONUSVIEW feature allows you to view additional content (such as commentaries) in small screen window while the movie is playing
- Front Panel USB Input
- Share your videos or photos on the big screen or listen to your favorite music. Simply connect your digital camera, USB-enabled MP3 player, or USB storage device
- Ready, Set... Socialize!
- The Socialize feature lets you post a message to leading social media sites -- so you can share information about the Internet videos and music that you're enjoying on the Blu-ray disc player
- Parental Control of Playback
- If you have youngsters, you'll appreciate the Parental Control function -- playback of BD-ROM discs, DVD video, and Internet videos can be limited according to the age of users.
- Energy Star Compliant
- The BDP-S185 meets Energy Star 2.0 standards. It uses just 10 watts of power when in use to conserve resources and save you money on your energy bills
- BRAVIA Sync
- Conveniently operate and control other BRAVIA Sync compatible devices -- including BRAVIA HDTVs, Blu-ray disc players, surround sound systems, Handycam camcorders and Cyber-shot digital still cameras, all with one remote control when connected via HDMI

So far, WP7 does not allow users to specify their own custom colors when it comes to Windows Phone 7 (WP7) interface and tiles( themes) . but thanks to XDA developer community there is a way to do this, in case you hated the stock colors. This feature is intended to be part of next major update from Microsoft but till then you can give it a spin on your developer unlocked device.
Neowin has written up a handy guide on how to change the accent colors on your own Windows Phone 7 device, based on the process figured out by member "xboxmod" of the Xda-Developers forum. It involves access to the registry of any HTC device running Windows Phone 7, write their own registry values over the top of some preconfigured ones, such as accent colors.

NIST is a non-regulatory agency with decades of experience providing industry, research and military agencies with laser power measurements traceable to international standards. NIST also has a history of innovation in devices for making such measurements. Technical staff from NIST's Laser Radiometry Project built the laser pointer test bed and collaborated with the NIST Office of Safety, Health and Environment on the tests. NIST has provided its data on laser pointer power measurements to the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates laser product safety.
Green lasers generate green light from infrared light. Ideally, the device should be designed and manufactured to confine the infrared light within the laser housing. However, according to the new NIST results, more than 75 percent of the devices tested emitted infrared light in excess of the CFR limit.
NIST Laser Safety Officer Joshua Hadler designed the measurement test bed.*** The system consists of a laser power meter and two optical filters to quantify the emissions of different wavelengths of visible and infrared light. The power meter and filters were calibrated at NIST. Lens holders ensure repeatable laser alignment, and an adjustable aperture contains the laser light around the output end of the laser.
"The measurement system is designed so that anyone can build it using off-the-shelf parts for about $2,000," Hadler says. "By relying on manufacturers' traceability to a national measurement institute such as NIST, someone could use this design to accurately measure power from a laser pointer."

台北有一位建筑商,年轻时就以精明著称于业内。那时的他,虽然颇具商业头脑,做事也成熟干练,但摸爬滚打许多 年,事业不仅没有起色,最后还以破产告终。在那段失落而迷茫的日子里,他不断地反思自己失败的原因,想破脑壳 也找寻不到答案。论才智,论勤奋,论计谋,他都不逊于别人,为什么有人成功了,而他离成功越来越远呢?
有很多记者追问他东山再起的秘诀,他只透露四个字:只拿六分。又过了几年,他的资产如滚雪般越来越大,达到 一百亿元。有一次,他来到大学演讲,期间不断有学生提问,问他从一万元变成一百亿元到底有何秘诀。他笑着回答,因为我一直坚持少拿两分。学生们听得如坠云里雾里。

There are a lot of excitement since ICANN has reveal the list of 1930 applications for new gTLD yesterday at an event in London yesterday.
Even some of the strongest opponents of the ICANN new gTLDs program have acknowledge the there is a case to open up new gTLD for Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs). So I am going to focus and analysis about the IDN applicants.
1) There are 116 applications for IDN , which is less than the 10% estimate I have prior. But what's surprising is the numbers for Chinese new gTLDs, 73 applications1.
The simple conclusion is that most people are still not certain of the future of IDN TLDs but if it is successful, it is likely to be in Chinese gTLDs.
2) The next two languages are 15 Arabic and 9 Japanese new gTLDs. But what is interesting is the lack of Korean, only 3 applications. Of the 3, only one comes from Korea (Samsung).
This is not to say Korean don't use IDN as KISA has obtained ".한국" via IDN ccTLD Fast Track. What I learn is that the Korean government has discourage Korean companies to participate in new gTLD but to garner around .KR and .한국 for local usages.
Commercially, there is also less interest in domain names as Korean Internet market has predominately used to Keywords and Search Engine as the mean for navigation.

Presentation I did for tomorrow meeting with Chinese brand owners.
ps: My first prezi presentation btw :-)
Made a last min trip to KL for an important meeting (very fruitful). Closed 2 deals while traveling. Unfortunately, I cannot say what it is here yet but I am very excited!
Still have 2 pending transactions, one looks like will have to close next week (during CNY) and one will definitely be after CNY.
Just send my family back to Singapore in the afternoon and now waiting for my flight back to Beijing. Still have lots of work today back in China…
Update 3rd Feb: one of the deal was just announced: Softbank took 35% stake in PPLIVE for US$250m. (also known as PPTV)
Update 27th Feb: another deal was announced: 24券网宣布获得千万级美元注资 (24quan.com is a GroupOn-clone in China)
Miss my connecting flight due to snow delay in Chicago, I am now stuck in Miami waiting for the next day flight to Cartagena.
Come to think about it, this is the first time I am in Miami. The weather is wonderful, a sharp contrast to the Beijing freezing wind and Chicago snow. But heck, I am in no mood to do anything else after 20 hours on 2 hops of planes, 3 hours in the queue trying to get my next flight. Bath and sleep…and hope I get to Cartagena tomorrow.
There are many peaks of been a geek in China. One of which is to access to whole set of Made-in-China software that has no equivalence in the English speaking world.
I was reformating my old Acer to run Windows 7.
The first thing I setup my Windows 7 is not to run Windows Updates but to install a software called 360. This software is a god-sent for people still running on Windows (I am on Mac most of my time now). It does several things:
1. It detect and recommend what Windows patches you need, and once you confirmed, automatically download (via P2P of cos) and install the patches. It runs constantly in the background and only pop-up when there is a new patches available.
This feature alone outstrip what it is offered by Windows Update. In fact, this is the reason I installed 360 first before anything else, because it do a much better job.
2. It scan and monitors your PC configuration and make recommendation to optimize the PC and once you confirm, it does it automatically for you. It does simple things like checking for what temporary files scattered across your harddisk, what program you can stop running so it speed up your startup time etc.
3. It scan for malwares and if you like, it also has a free anti-software. I cannot compare this to other commercial anti-virus but it is good enough for me.
4. It has a software management, that recommends software you should download. It also it has an extremely powerful uninstaller (much better than what is offered Windows again) that it scan and delete all the left-over files and registries entries on your computer so you know you totally get rid of it.
After I setup my new Win7, I found out I have lost my driver discs. Normally, this means I will have to head over to Acer, look through a whole set of links to find the relevant drivers, download them and install them one by one.
Instead, there is another Chinese software I use DriveTheLife. What it does is that it automatically detect your hardware, the missing drivers, makes recommendation for you and with a click, it downloads, install and reboot for you. It save me hours of sitting in front of the computer to setup the drivers. btw, it continues to run and monitor updates for you if you like to keep it around.
There are hundreds of these small software like this, not available in English, no equivalent in the English world, that makes me really happy sometimes I am a Chinese speaking geeks.
I have been trying to keep a low profile since coming to China. In my early years in China, a 老前辈 had advised me that if I want to be successful in China, I must learn to 低调做人,高调做事.
Anyway, to cut the long story short, I finally bent and accepted my first Chinese (video) interview, on the request of an old friend. I spend a morning at 光明网 a couple of days ago and did an hour long video interview. We spoke on many things and I don't think I can remember every detail. Neither have they release the video yet.
But I was quite surprised when they picked one of the things I said and put out as a news report. And more surprisingly, that is also picked up by others and now making rounds in Chinese news wire. I didn't know about it until friend emailed me.
Anyway, the news is about that the IDN ccTLD for China ".中国" is now activated in the root and therefore fully functional. The only mistake is that the article said it happens on 12th July when actually this was done on 9th July.

Students at Glendale middle school being treated for possible overdose of spice
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Students at a Glendale middle school were being treated for a possible overdose of spice on Tuesday morning.
One of the students was transported to the hospital and is expected to be fine and the other is also expected to be fine. Both female students are believed to have been smoking spice on the way to school.
Challenger Middle School, near 69th and Maryland avenues, has students in grades four through eight.
Spice is a synthetic herbal marijuana.

Makes about 1 1/2 quarts
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup (about 1 1/2 ounces) whole star anise (available at specialty foods shops and Asian markets)
- 8 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Pernod
In a heavy saucepan combine the milk, the cream, the sugar, and the star anise, bring the mixture just to a boil, and remove the pan from the heat. In a bowl whisk together the egg yolks, add the cream mixture in a stream, whisking, and pour the mixture back into the pan. Cook the custard over moderately low heat, stirring, until it registers 170°F. on a candy thermometer, strain it through a fine sieve set over another bowl, and let it cool completely. Stir in the Pernod and freeze the custard in an ice-cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

The Emerson Fry Spring/Summer 2013 collection was displayed to shoppers and those familiar with the label via a rebellious lookbook, one that featured multiple backdrops and moods.
While the styles included in this line are classic, a theme that was delivered via dark skinny jeans, thin heels and monochromatic flats, the tone of the production was more so morose. A brunette model stood outside while smoking a cigarette and staring indifferently at the camera, making it appear as if she was entirely unaware of the lookbook in the first place. This sense of indifference is certainly appealing for women who wish to look nonchalant this season, enabling them to come across as unintentionally put together.

Plot Summary:
Based on a true story, Cheaper by the Dozen tells the story of the Gilbreth family. Their inventor father, who is well-known for bringing better efficiency to factories, keeps his family of twelve children running just as efficiently. This play is told from the point of view of two of his children reflecting on the last few months before his death. He was preparing the family for his imminent departure, but most of his children, like most of the young children in the audience, were unaware of the fact. It is an extremely funny, heart-warming, and family-friendly tale, and the tragic catharsis of the father's death is beautiful to the adults in the audience, who can understand the euphemisms.
Character Breakdown:
Mr. Gilbreth (Dad): Late 40's to mid 50's. Carries himself with the self-assurance of a successful man who is proud of his wife and family as well as his business accomplishments. Though a disciplinarian, he loves nothing so much as a good joke, preferably one on himself.
Mrs. Gilbreth (Mother): Late 40's to mid-50's, a gracious, attractive women. She is also a psychologist. In her own way she is often able to get better results with her large family more so than her disciplinarian husband.
Anne: the oldest, about 17. Attractive, sweet natured, but stands up to her father.
Ernestine: about 15. She is also the Co-Narrator.
Martha: about 14. She speaks some German.
Frank: about 16. He is also the Co-Narrator.
Bill, Lillian, Fred, Dan, Jackie: The younger children (ages variable from 9 - 13).
Mrs. Fitzgerald: The housekeeper - a kind woman who is completely devoted to the family. Sometimes her patience is tried by the ongoing chaos of the large family (age 50 – 70).
Dr. Burton: The family doctor - a plain spoken man (age 40 – 60).
Joe Scales: Anne's age (about 17) - a very short, cocky cheerleader.
Miss Brill: A teacher who has no love for the children and they have none for her (age 35 – 50).
Larry: Anne's age (about 17), nice-looking, clean cut boy. Anne's "special friend".

1. Bedroom + lots of paint = patterned wall. If you have a color plus a can of white paint (and lots of patience), this project is for you. Take your time plotting out the pattern with painter's tape (I recommend starting the weekend before). For the best results, paint one color and let it dry before applying the second.
2. Bedroom + a little paint = molding accents. If you have just a smidge of paint left, try picking up some decorative moldings at the hardware store to accent your wall instead. If your wall is already a color, paint the moldings white. If you have white walls, try gray moldings for a chic look.
3. Bedroom + a little paint = chevron dresser. Give that old dresser a makeover with a carefully applied chevron pattern. If you prefer something simpler, try alternating thin and wide stripes, or just paint the drawer fronts.
4. Bedroom + a little paint = new accessories. Unify a collection of mismatched trays, bowls and jewelry holders with a fresh coat of white paint. Metallic would be really pretty, too.
5. Living room + lots of paint = accent wall. A rich-hued accent wall can do wonders to enliven your space. Choose your wall wisely — the new color will draw attention to this spot, so make it a place you want people to notice.
6. Living room + a little paint = painted brick fireplace. For some reason, people hesitate painting over brick fireplaces. Sure, some historic homes have really beautiful original fireplaces that would be wise to leave alone — but if your brick fireplace has been bumming you out, nothing is stopping you. Get out your paint can and hop to it!
How to Paint Your Brick Fireplace
How to Paint Your Brick Fireplace
7. Living room + a little paint = new life for an old mirror. An old mirror, or even the mirrored door of an old armoire, can be refurbished with a coat of color on the frame. If you have some of your wall color left, try lightening it with a bit of primer or white paint for a subtle tonal look.
8. Stairway + lots of paint = painted runner. Update a dark staircase by painting layers of light colors. Start with a white base, follow with the main runner color and accent with a thin border stripe if you wish.
9. Stairway + a little paint = number stencils. Short on paint? Leaving the stairs bare, use a basic number stencil set from the crafts store to apply paint to each riser.
10. Kids' room + lots of paint = chalkboard wall. This now-classic look has remained popular for a reason: It's fun! What kid doesn't want to be able to draw on the walls?
11. Kids' room + a little paint = dramatic doorway. Try your hand at painting an ornate border around an open doorway. Make a template using a roll of paper and tape it to the wall to create an outline you can follow.
12. Kids' room + a teensy bit of paint = spice rack book display. Scoop up a few inexpensive spice racks from Ikea for this supereasy project: Simply paint the racks, allow them to dry, then attach them to the wall.
13. Kitchen + lots of paint = patterned accent wall. Try your own take on a Union Jack motif, in whatever colors strike your fancy ... or whatever colors happen to be lying around in your storage closet.
14. Kitchen + a little paint = chalkboard fridge. If you have a bit of chalkboard paint left over from another project, I love the idea of using it to cover a boring fridge for an instant message board.
15. Kitchen + a teensy bit of paint = stenciled wall art. Make a statement with a single oversize number or letter, carefully stenciled.
16. Craft room + lots of paint = whitewashed floors. White floors may not seem like the most practical choice for a craft room, but they feel fresh and creative, and are surprisingly useful — just try finding that stray bead on a dark floor.
17. Craft room + lots of paint = painted pegboard. Organize the tools of your trade and hang art in a creative display with a simple pegboard from the hardware store. Match your walls or contrast them; the choice is yours.
18. Craft room + a little paint = embellished crates. Basic wooden crates are transformed into a creative storage and display area with a fun new hue. For added pop, line the backs with wallpaper scraps or pretty wrapping paper.
19. Bathroom + lots of paint = chic wide stripes. Continue a wide stripe from the interior of the bathroom right onto the back of the door for an unexpected twist.
20. Bathroom + a little paint = tub makeover. Give your claw-foot tub a lick of color — dark gray, black or bitter chocolate will look chic and sophisticated. Try red, pink or vibrant blue for a more daring look.
21. Bathroom + a teensy bit of paint = tin can containers. Turn old cans into useful vessels for everything from plants to makeup brushes with a touch of colorful paint.
22. Dining room + lots of paint = patterned floor. Whether you go for a classic checkerboard or modern stencils, painting a pattern onto the dining room floor means you can forgo the rug. Paint the background first, or let the natural wood peek through, as shown here.
23. Dining room + a little paint = updated buffet. Paint just the fronts of the drawers and cabinets for a two-tone look. Alternatively, if you have a glass-front cabinet in the dining room, try painting just the inside of the cabinets for a subtle change.
24. Home office + lots of paint = gallery wall. Ground an art wall above your desk with a deep dark hue. Once the color has been applied, try out your arrangement of objects on the floor before hanging it to be sure it works.
25. Home office + a little paint = DIY wall art. Think you can't make art? All you need for this project is a plain stretched canvas from your local art supply store, painter's tape (to mark out the chevron pattern) and paint.

Union Data Snowboard Binding
Extremely well made bindings. Super comfortable and lock down tight. Buckles have never failed on me, materials are holding up fine, and they look sick. I have used these about 30 days over 1.5 years (I live in Ohio, give me a break), and they still look as good and work as well as the day I got them. Buy Union bindings.

686 Smarty Marker Jacket - Men's
Get it!
I got this on brociety for $119 and I thought I got an incredible deal. For $75 (if you wear a large) you definitely should not pass this up.
I am 6'3" 225 and I love the way the XL fits. It is long and baggy, but not so much that it inhibits my movement. Covers everything. The material is durable and soft, and all the pockets are really useful. Also, it is super warm with the liner in. I wore this coat with a really thin base layer in low-20s weather, and I got hot enough to open up the zippers.
The only disagreement I have with the description of this coat is the 15k waterproof rating. I think it is more like 10k, because it does not stay dry as long as other 15k gear I have used, but it is still sufficient for almost any condition short of rain.
Buy it.

Analog Socket Flannel Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Men's
I am 6'3" 225 and the XL fits perfectly. It is a tailored fit, but not slim, so I can still move around. The material is acrylic, but I think it is made to feel like wool, so it is kind of itchy, but not enough to bother me. It seems like it will be really durable. I ordered a second color because I liked the fit and feel so much, and I am sure both shirts will be on frequent rotation in my wardrobe.

- Former Novato cop pleads Fifth on cocaine allegations; wife invokes spousal privilege
Five men convicted of killing a Novato resident to prevent his testimony in court were ordered to jointly pay about $47,000 in restitution to his widow.
Judge Terrence Boren approved the amount for Phan Nguyen, the widow of Tong Van Le, during a hearing this week in Marin Superior Court.
The money is intended to cover Nguyen's moving and travel costs after her husband's slaying and the loss of income for days she was unable to work, said Deputy District Attorney Kendra Rudolph.
But the judge denied an extra $193,000 the prosecution sought for lost equity in the family home on Pizarro Avenue, which is where Le was murdered in 2008, Rudolph said. Nguyen, who had two children with Le, wanted to move after the murder, but by then the real estate market had crashed and she was forced to give up the house in a short sale.
The couple bought the home for $790,000 in June 2005, according to real estate websites that track public records. It was sold in June 2009 for $515,000.
Four of the killers — Larry Blay Jr., his brother Deandre, Kevin Abram and C. Autis Johnson — were convicted of murder and received life sentences. Their restitution can be collected from part of the money sent to them in prison and the limited income they might earn from prison jobs, attorneys said.
The fifth man, Sean Demetrius Washington, received a deal for a manslaughter conviction and a short jail term in exchange for his testimony. He has been released from custody in the case, and it was unclear how or if restitution would be collected from him.
The restitution hearing did not involve Johnson's mother, Anchulita Uribe, who was convicted of being an accessory after the fact.
Le, 44, was shot to death on Sept. 13, 2008, in the garage of the home. He had just returned home from work at the Nasser Market, the liquor store he owned in the Bernal Heights area of San Francisco.
The shooting occurred three weeks after Le's store was robbed and he identified Larry Blay Jr. as a suspect. The prosecution said Blay, awaiting trial in a San Francisco jail cell, put the word out that Le must be killed so he could not testify.
Marin Superior Court records show no wrongful death lawsuit by Le's family against the killers.

Lately we've been hearing a lot about the instant vinyl recording booth at Jack White's Third Man Records. Brendan Benson recorded a song in it last year and Neil Young made his entire new album A Letter Home in the booth. This past weekend, the members of Weezer — who were in Nashville to play 1994′s self-titled "Blue Album" and 1996′s Pinkerton in full — crowded into the booth to record an acoustic version of beloved Blue-era B-side "Susanne." No word on whether the vinyl will be sold, but on Twitter the band called it "one of a kind." Watch clips of the recording session and mixing below, and check out all the fans' phones…
Weezer's new Ric-Ocasek-produced LP is due out this year. In the meantime, you might as well listen to the original recording of "Susanne" because it rules.

Geisha Steakhouse (7950 East Mississippi -- the avenue, not the river) has closed. Going into that space? Old Siam Sushi Bar. Yes, that's just exactly what Denver needs: another strip-mall sushi bar.
Another contestant in the name game, Wedge Pizza Company, is no more. Its old home at 1 Broadway is now filled by Fasano's, and "the concept is health food," according to new owner Ryan Fasano. "But if you don't want health food, you can always still come in for a slice." Yep, that's right: Fasano will continue to serve the pizza (and the calzones and the sandwiches) that made Wedge famous, but he's added a menu full of fresh and steamed veggies, white rice, yams, steak and chicken. "Sandwiches, a slice and a piece of health," Fasano says. "That's like our motto."
Sweet B.O.B.'s BBQ, another occupant of the 1 Broadway complex, has apparently vanished in a puff of smoke. The phones are disconnected, the space is empty, and as I strolled by last Friday, someone was inside with a tape measure checking on the height of the doors and the width of the windows -- as if preparing it for a coffin. No word yet on what's going into this space, but if any future restaurateurs out there want my advice, here it is: Stay away. This must be one of the most cursed locations in all of Denver, with a half-dozen small restaurants coming and then quickly going over the past few years. Even the Best BBQ award I gave Sweet B.O.B.'s this past March wasn't enough to overcome the curse.

The space at 1512 Lawrence Street, in a corner of Writer Square, was vacant for years after Top Hat hung it up. Earlier this month, though, it reopened as Max Burgerworks. Brought to you by Greg Waldbaum, and Gerard and Jason Rudofsky (the guys behind Zaidy's Deli), Max vows to serve high-quality, custom gourmet burgers (made from salmon, all-natural chicken, Niman Ranch beef and more) and hand-cut fries in a simple-but-sophisticated atmosphere with beers on tap, a wine list and -- best of all -- root-beer floats. I'm a sucker for root-beer floats.
Know what else I'm a sucker for? In-n-Out Burgers. They're one of those great, guilty pleasures that -- as a jet-setting young journalist on the go -- I simply can't get enough of. Why, just yesterday I had my personal concierge gas up the Bite Me HQ Learjet and buzz me out to Barstow for....
Okay, that's a lie. Westword has yet to pony up the green for my jet, but when it does, bi-weekly trips out to Chino, Oceanside and San Bernardino to pick up big, greasy bags of Double-Doubles and chocolate shakes will commence immediately.
In the meantime, though, we have this: Burgers-n-Sports, the brainchild of Goose Gossage, a Colorado native and former big-league pitcher (most recently on the mound for the San Diego Padres and the New York Yankees), which opened this month at 18695 Stage Run Road in Parker. I haven't gotten out there yet, but I've heard from dependable sources that this quick-service burgers-and-shakes joint is the next best thing to the pride of Southern California drive-throughs. It serves big burgers, hand-cut fries, thick shakes and not much else -- but when the urge for exactly that seizes you, a quick run out to Parker beats the hell out of a fourteen-hour high-speed run across the Mojave.
And that's not the only reason to head to Parker. I got a letter the other day from Jack Goldsmith, restaurateur, touting the six-month-old Junz, a Japanese-French fusion joint at 1005 South Dransfedt Road. "I have lived in the Parker area for the past seven years," Goldsmith wrote. "I am blown away having a restaurant of this caliber in my sleepy little country town.... They are worthy of local and regional recognition. I have from day one had excellent food offerings and service. I will put them up against all the Japanese-French restaurants in the region and even the famous master sushi chef Nobu Matsuhisa. We visit this establishment weekly, as do many other local 'foodies' who appreciate the talent. I have been trained as a chef and have close to thirty years' experience in the restaurant industry. I am not much of a letter writer; this is actually the first time I have been compelled to write to a food critic concerning a fellow chef.
"We all know how difficult it is to open and successfully run a profitable restaurant in our current economic times," continued Goldsmith. "It is always nice to see a talented operator go into suburbia and try to persuade Americana to dine at an independent, high-quality operation in lieu of another national chain-fabricated venue."
The chef in question is Jun Makino, a protegé of the late Jean-Louis Palladin. Along with sushi chef Ben Ngyuen, he's bringing a little bit of the sushi-fusion freak show to Parker. Diver scallops and sea snails? Absolutely. Tempura and tonkatsu? Bring it on. Halibut belly? Foie gras in a shallot-thyme marinade? Now you're talking. There are also rumors of toro sashimi on the premises, and a secret stash of fresh wasabe held in secret for the regulars -- but I'll leave that for you to discover.

I was disappointed with this ring. It appears like a cz. The picture did it a lot more justice.
The quality of this ring is nice, but the band is SO thick, it is terribly uncomfortable on your hand. The look is not dainty at all, but very clunky. If you don't mind that, or having something that's nearly a 1/4 wide between you fingers, then this is the ring for you. I needed something thinner so I will be returning this piece.
When I recieved the ring I thought it was beautiful but after wearing it one time I noticed that two stones fell out. I was unable to return it because I didn't have the receipt that came with it.
Received product and was very happy with the look. It was gorgeous. After about a week it started to turn my finger green... After a month it was tarnishef & orange. Accidentally banged my hand while wea ring & it bent & stones fell out. SO upset. More upset tho that the 'gold' tir.ed my finger green.... What a piece of junk! VERY disappointed.
I was very disappointed with this ring, having purchased the round stone previously. the cz's had no resemblance to diamonds, no sparkle , the cut was incorrect , looking nothing like a princess cut. it was of poor quality and I returned it immediately.
Beautiful ring although probably a little unbelievable to the average person. One drawback is the ring is NOT comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The bulkiness of the prong setting is uncomfortable. Beauty is pain! Suck it up, buy it and impress those around you!
I was not expecting for the product to be a nice, it looked nice on your site but the actual ring was more than I had hoped. I will purchase jewelry again from you, This was the first time I tried jewelry and I'm very happy. Thank You
After wearing this ring for about a week, all of the prongs turned. Its also rough on the fingers that touch the prongs, as they are raised.
The diamonds were out of line. And your sizing chart was off so I didn't get the right size. Very disappointed.
Diamonds look slanted within their setting but beautiful as a whole!! It does somewhat hurt the fingers next to the ring. The prongs are a little rough.

Back Splash
by User161671 on
Had Steve come over and install 60 sq feet of back splash. He was on time both days not 1 minute late. The job he did was out of this world. He took his time and made sure that every piece was perfect. His price was unbeatable for the service and job he preformed. I will be using Steve for any tile needs that I come across. I will also tell friends and family about Steve. Great Guy and Quality work.
by User149601 on
Steve laid tile in our dining room, living room, kitchen, half bath, master bath, extra bath and laundry room. Not only did he do an amazing job at laying the tile, he also helped us out with the design side! He helped us pick out grout and tile that would match the new carpet we were installing and the paint color on the walls. Everything looks amazing! My wife and I couldn't be happier!! We ended up selling our house 1 year later and had 11 offers in two days!! Every single person that put in an offer on our home raved about how beautiful the tile was! I am certain that we were able to make a large profit on our home because of the wonderful tile job that Steve did! We are so glad we found Steve and will definitely use him in the future! He is friendly, professional, kind and skilled! Thank you Steve!
True Craftsman

Steve recently completed a tiled shower for us. I was amazed at some of the great ideas he gave me on the installation. He suggested doing a glass inlay which looked amazing when completed! The work was far better than other tile jobs I have had done in the past. His prices were reasonable and his completion was quick. I will have him come back when we are ready to do our kitchen!
Not good
by User28948 on
Got a quote to re-tile my shower floor and re-grout the walls. He told me it would take 4-5 hours and quoted me $250. I was naive and agreed. He showed up several days later unannounced at 7 o'clock at night. He said the problem before was that the installer hadn't used the caulking grout for the edges so they got brittle and cracked away. The job took him a little over an hour (not 4-5) and he had just redone the exact same thing the previous installer had done! I asked him about it and he had forgotten to get the right caulking before he came so he just used regular grout. Also, he ran out toward the end and didn't want to mix a new batch so there were parts that he didn't even do! It's been a year now and I've had to redo about 1/4 of the work myself using the right materials. On top of all that he charged me an extra $5 for a spare piece of tile that he happened to have in his truck that we ended up using! My eyes were reopened to the rip-off world of contractors.
Honest and amazing!
by User117132 on
I am a single mother of four children. I called Steve after receiving vastly different quotes for the same job by several different people within the industry. After weeks of getting the run around and different information from several different installers, Steve sounded the most knowledgeable and trustworthy. Steve helped me with my kitchen floors after a flood and not only did he complete the labor for free but he only charged me for supplies which was a whole lot less than any of the previous quotes I received. The floor was completed quickly and the end result is just breathtaking! I am so happy I reached out to Steve and grateful for his work and generosity during my time of need. People like Steve are very rare these days. He was professional, friendly, talented and skilled. Everything you would hope for when it comes to service like this. Thanks Steve!

Suboccipital puncture
This article does not cite any references or sources. (November 2006) |
Suboccipital puncture | |
Intervention | |
A suboccipital puncture or cisternal puncture is a diagnostic procedure that can be performed in order to collect a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for biochemical, microbiological, and cytological analysis, or rarely to relieve increased intracranial pressure. It is done by inserting a needle through the skin below the external occipital protuberance into the cisterna magna and is an alternative to lumbar puncture. Indications for its use are limited. Subarachnoid hemorrhage and direct puncture of brain tissue are the most common major complications. Fluoroscopic guidance decreases the risk for complications. The use of this procedure in humans was first described by Ayer in 1920.
This is an exceedingly rare procedure. When CSF cannot be obtained from the lumbar space (and when its analysis is considered critical to treatment), a cisternal tap may be required. The needle is placed in the midline, passing just under the occipital bone, into the (usually large) cisterna magna (Fig. 23-2). This is technically fairly easy; however, if the needle is advanced too far it can enter the medulla, sometimes causing sudden respiratory arrest and death. The test should therefore be carried out only by experienced physicians (usually neurosurgeons or neurologists). An alternative route that may be used by neurosurgeons and neuroradiologists is lateral to C-1 with penetration through the large C-1 intervertebral hiatus.
The cisternal tap may be used in myelography when the upper margin of a spinal block needs to be defined, however, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), has become the procedure of choice for defining the upper and lower limits of spinal cord or spinal cord compressing lesions. It is necessary at times in the intrathecal administration of irritating medications, such as amphotericin B. Medications are diluted more rapidly in the larger and more rapidly circulating volume of cisterna magna than in the smaller lumbar sac

Pentagon Spokesman Defends U.S. Weapons/Ammo Sales To Israel
Saturday, August 2, 2014
(Undated) -- A bill providing 225-million dollars to rearm Israel's "Iron Dome" missile defense system is on its way to the House after being passed unanimously by the Senate. Pentagon spokesman Read Admiral John Kirby was asked whether calling for ceasefires between Israel and Hamas and continuing to arm one side of the conflict may send the wrong signal. He dismissed that suggestion.
Friday's Senate vote on "Iron Dome" funding was unanimous. The money will go towards the missiles that are used to shoot down rockets fired at Israel.Pentagon spokesman Read Admiral John Kirby says the abrupt end of what should have been a 72-hour ceasefire between Israel and Hamas doesn't mean the U.S. is giving up on finding a way to stop the bloodshed.

Our Red Seal Chefs
At Merridale we take great pride in the food that we serve to our guests. We have brought together a truly remarkable kitchen team that work together to bring local, affordable and tantalizing dishes to the table every time.
Chef Benni Kelly
Benni began cooking at Coolum Beach Surf Club, a restaurant just north of Brisbane, Australia when he was 14. Inspired by his childhood job he enrolled in the culinary program at the Cooloo Institute of TAFE in Queensland, Australia. By the time Benni was only 22 he had graduated and was ready for a new adventure so he packed up and moved to New Zealand. Experimenting with the traditional local ingredients and seasonal variations that is New Zealand cuisine, Benni learned how to really cook. Still young and adventurous, Benni moved on from New Zealand and cooked his way around South East Asia where he learned how to incorporate even more authentic flavours into his food. Then after a short layover in his home country of Australia, he relocated to Canada. Unsure of where he wanted to settle, he tried a few outer laying areas of Pender Island, Tofino and the Comox Valley before he settled in the Cowichan Valley. Shortly after arriving he met his sweetheart Raeleen and is now proud to call the area home. His cooking philosophy revolves around keeping it simple: using local ingredients and letting the natural ingredients come out. With a passion for the outdoors, he is thrilled to have the opportunity to work in the new orchard kitchen so look for him this summer on the back deck. He will be the guy singing and dancing by the BBQ.
Consulting Chef Kaitlyn Bogas
Kaitlyn began her cooking career in Vancouver, in 1975. She worked at a number of restaurants while attending high school, and upon graduation, was the chef of the 175 seat "Owl and the Engineer" restaurant, in Surrey BC. She moved to the Okanagan Valley in 1981, and in 1982, at the age of 23, opened her first restaurant, "Cafe Europa", in Vernon BC.
Kaitlyn moved back to Vancouver in late 1986, and worked briefly at "Joe Fortes" in downtown Vancouver. She then met Vancouver restaurant legend, Umberto Menghi, and took the head Chef position at "Umberto's Fish House", on Hornby street.
By 1991, she was again ready to open her own restaurant, "Saltimbocca" near Kit's Beach. The restaurant opened to critical acclaim, and operated successfully until 1995, when it was sold to her then partner, Brian Jessel. In 1996, kaitlyn joined forces with Umberto Menghi as managing partner at "Mangiamo", in Vancouver's burgeoning Yaletown district. After selling to Umberto in 2000, she created "Coco Pazzo", in Vancouver's Kerrisdale neighbourhood. Kaitlyn has designed, and served as general contractor of each of her restaurants. Her last three establishments have featured contemporary, rustic, Italian cuisine.
Kaitlyn has four adult children, the youngest having just moved to the Island to study engineering at UVic. She lives very happily in Shawnigan lake, mountain biking up to 250 km per week, and enjoys river and lake fishing, and foraging in the woods. She vows never to leave Vancouver Island, especially if she wins a lottery.

Sometimes I take for granted that I live right by the water, but it's when I'm pulled out of my element (while traveling) I realize how big of a role water plays in my life. As much as I love what I do, it gets quite exhausting. I find that when you are passionate about something you give it your all, and although it's incredibly rewarding, It's also entirely exhausting. When traveling, I spend most of my time in New York City, and when I'm not I spend my days in downtown L.A. And although I live right by the beach, It's hard for me to find the time to step away from the madness to simply breathe. But as of lately the hubs and I have been spending the better part of our weekend mornings by the water, and I'm not sure why we didn't do this before! It's a time for us to unleash all the chaos, and bring peace back into our lives. Water is not only essential for the emotional soul, but is also a necessity for the skin and body.
My obsession with skin care developed when I was in grade school living in Korea, year 1993 to be exact. I discovered a number of different beauty products, but one line that I have a long lasting history with is a korean brand called Laneige. You can only imagine my excitement when they recently reached out in regards to partnering up with them for their U.S launch that is exclusive to Target.
"Be Waterful" is Laneige's brand motto, and I love that their core focus is all about beautiful, healthy, and hydrated skin! With all the traveling, stress, and pollution (especially in L.A.) it can get quite difficult to maintain the healthiest skin. So as Laneige's brand ambassador I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite products along with some skincare tips of mine to achieve beautiful and "waterful" skin.
Here are 5 things I currently do to maintain healthy & dewy skin:
1. STAY HYDRATED – I drink about 6-8 cups of water a day.
2. SWEAT- I love going to Hot Yoga at least once a week to sweat out all the toxins from my body. If I don't have enough time for Hot Yoga, I'll at least go to the sauna for 30 minutes.
3. SLEEP- While sleeping I've been using Laneige's Water Sleeping Mask about 2 times a week. It provides me with intensive hydration all while i'm restoring my body in bed…talk about multi tasking! The next morning I immediately wake up with incredibly dewy, glowy, & hydrated skin!
4. MOISTURIZE- Laneige's Water Bank serum, Moisturizing Cream, and Gel Cream has seriously saved my skin after weeks of traveling! It contains an exclusive water science technology that keeps the skin both externally and internally hydrated.
5. SUNBLOCK- I know you all have heard this many times, but I cannot emphasize enough the importance of wearing sunblock. Laneige's Triple Sunscreen SPF 40 is my absolute favorite as it is enriched with soybean protein extracts. Which not only protects but also brightens and corrects the skin for an instant shimmery dewy look.
I hope that these tips have helped you out in staying "Waterful", and let me know if you guys have any secret skincare tips…I would love to know!

Inception actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt has praised 50/50 writer Will Reiser for his ability to take funny moments and translate them into words and to make the characters feel human. Joseph admitted that it is often difficult to write funny but that Will did a fantastic job with the 50/50 script.
Gordon-Levitt explained "It's really rare to find a story that has characters that feel like human beings. In most scripts, the characters feel more like stereotypes or plot devices and this felt really earnest and real. And it was genuinely funny. It made me laugh and the hardest thing to find is writing that is actually funny."
50/50 is based on the true story of Will Reiser who survived a cancer scare and wanted to make people realise that with great drama, there are still moments of joy and laughter. 50/50, which also stars Seth Rogen is already out in the US and is released in the UK on November 25.

UT President Joe DiPietro likely to see a $15,000 raise
KNOXVILLE — Trustees preliminarily approved a $15,000 pay raise today for University of Tennessee president Joe DiPietro.
The raise comes on top of a 2.5 percent across-the-board increase all employees received in June, which bumped his salary from $420,000 to $430,500.
Vice Chair Don Stansberry recommended to his fellow trustees that DiPietro also receive a 3.5 percent performance raise, the largest increase given to any other senior executive.
Stansberry told trustees that DiPietro declined to be offered more than other employees received, even though he was hired two years ago with a salary is below national averages for major universities.
The raise was approved unanimously at the executive and compensation committee meeting, and will go before the full board Friday for final approval.
More details as they become available online and in Friday's News Sentinel.

4 jammin91Posted: 31/05/2010very good phone although cant give it 5 star because the more apps, themes, games e.t.c. it gets slower and sometimes becomes inoperable even with the latest operating system. also blackberry messenger requires you to be on contract because most networks dnt have a blackberry messenger service on pay as you go but if u are on orange dolphin package it will work fine. other networks require u to be on contract so if u dnt wanna be on one then dnt get a blackberry if all u want it for is blackberry messenger. other than that a very good phone :)
